Richard von Frankenberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard van Frankenberg was a German journalist and race car driver.
He took part in many 24 Hours of Le Mans races in the 1950s, often with a Porsche 550.
He became famous for crashing in the banking of the AVUS in Berlin. The Porsche slid over the top and Frankenberg was thrown out, which was caught on photos. He survived with minor injuries - unlike Jean Behra who was killed in a similar accident in 1959.
